Show Hint
- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Neither conclusion I nor II follows
- Both conclusions I and II follow
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The statement says that "morning walks are good for health." This only provides information about morning walks but does not imply anything about the necessity of healthy people going for a morning walk or about the harms of evening walks. Step 2: Evaluating Conclusion I
Conclusion I states that "all healthy people go for a morning walk." The statement only claims that morning walks are good for health, not that all healthy people practice it. Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow from the statement. Step 3: Evaluating Conclusion II
Conclusion II states that "evening walks are harmful." The statement does not mention anything about evening walks or their effects on health. It only discusses the benefits of morning walks. Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow from the statement. Step 4: Conclusion
Since neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is supported by the statement, the correct answer is (3) Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Top Questions on Statements and Conclusions
Humane Dynamix is a leadership training organization based in Mumbai. Established in 2015, the organization is gradually becoming a leader in behavioral training. In the organization, trainers are assigned to training projects based on their expertise. Corporates seek behavioral training services on a regular basis, from Humane Dynamix, for upskilling their executives. Humane Dynamix is headed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), to whom the Training Assignment Officer (TAO) reports. The TAO position rotates among the senior trainers for a fixed tenure; the CEO assigns this position to a senior trainer.
Companies, desirous of hiring Humane Dynamix, share their training needs with the organization. The TAO assigns a trainer to the client. Typically, the satisfied client requests for a particular trainer that the client is satisfied, giving repeat business to Humane Dynamix from the same client company. However, the TAO takes the nal call. Years of training experience plays a big role in client satisfaction, and hence, senior trainers conduct most training programs while the newly recruited trainers apprentice with them. However, the senior trainers have the autonomy to decide on who they want to accept as an apprentice..
Further, during a training program, the senior trainer takes most of the sessions, if not all, while the apprentice helps the senior trainers to organize their sessions, and occasionally take a few sessions. As the apprentices gain experience, they start getting their own independent projects, but that typically takes quite some time..
Dheeraj, a senior trainer, takes over as the TAO. As soon as he assumes the office, the CEO shares a concern with him: “We have a lot of young trainers who we have recently recruited. Since they are not known to the outside world, they do not get enough opportunities. Many of them are impatient to prove their mettle. Unless they are assigned more programs, we risk losing them rapidly.”- XAT - 2025
